Bob Woodward says Al Gore is 'unpleasant and taxing'... as he's told 'public know just 1% of details on Clinton's government'

-Watergate journalist didn't enjoy sitting next to Al Gore

-He claims we know little about Clinton administration

-Mr Gore was speaking at investment dinner last week

If you ever get to hold that dream dinner party of writers and politicians, feel free to invite Bob Woodward or Al Gore. But just don’t ask both. Mr Woodward, 68, the former Washington Post reporter who gained fame through the Watergate scandal, is not a fan of the former vice-president. He said at a function in Washington D.C. last Thursday that sitting next to Mr Gore, 63, at a previous dinner event was ‘taxing’ and ‘unpleasant’.

The one percent that really hurts the Nation: the secret crimes of the Clinton machine - which have only been magnified under Obama (one percent of percent would probably be an overly generous description of the most "open" adminstration in history).

I was just listening to Hannity and he was making the good point that no matter the passion one may have for an individual Republican, all of the Republican candidates will be infinitely better than Obama. The Nation very well may not survive more Obamanation.

“...Al Gore is ‘unpleasant and taxing’...”

And this is news to Bob Woodward?

[gov_bean_ counter]

... and those are his good points.

[NeilGus]

Tipper could have told you that years ago...

[rogue yam]

Well maybe if Woodward wasn’t such an evil leftist he would have investigated and reported more on the Clinton Administration back when the country needed for him to.

So, the guy who’s whole entire life revolves around Watergate, admits that Journ-O-Lists only know 1% of the Clinton White House, huh? I bet they know even less than that about all of Barry Obama’s life, yet they see nothing wrong with giving proctology exams to Sarah Palin, Herman Cain, or any other Republican. Woodward is a functional part of the problem.

“And this is news to Bob Woodward?”

Obviously Woodward isn’t much of an investigative reporter these days. (Not that he ever was).

Climate change advocate Mr Gore told Mr Woodward the public knows around ‘one per cent’ of what happened during that time.

Does that make Bob a 1%er?

I went to high school with Woodward. He too is unpleasant and taxing.

[Bitsy]

was ‘taxing’ and ‘unpleasant’.

We knew that since the Bush/Gore debates. I wonder who big al is dating these days since he dumped Tipper? MSM most likely knows but would never tell on the ex halted green one.

but is also tedious and banal?

[the_Watchman]

Perhaps Woodward found it “unpleasant” to be told that the Clinton administration was 99% more corrupt than recognized by the public. Maybe it was “taxing” to have the hypocrisy of his personal ethics laid bare.

“also tedious and banal?”

Uh,,,,, You don’t need that “b” in there.

[bigbob]

if he’d have won he’d REALLY be taxing! Literally.

During the Lewinsky scandal, Bernstein, and possibly Woodward, took to the airwaves to proclaim that the Blue Dress scandal didn’t hold a candle to Watergate. They had a legacy to uphold.

[AppyPappy]

Journalists look at Democrat scandals and say “Why could that have been a Republican? I could write about that”. They are reduced to being cheerleaders and conduits for Democratic Party faxes.
